If I get the Doom 3 demo for my laptop, will it run. You've all seen my shots from BF2, CoD, and the un-Godly FEAR. More chances of getting a BJ from the Pope?

*note to self: get that bloody screenshots website setup, you fool.

Yeah sorry i was getting the doom 3 demo mixed up with another.

You really should update your drivers, uninstall your old drivers, reboot install new sparkly drivers. Theres something horribly wrong with your laptop if you can't update.

Steady on Chico, too much at once.

You can't patch a demo, yeah right? Last time I tried to update my graphics card drivers it wouldn't let me do that either.

My Laptop is just a pile of ass really. But it runs BF2, so I forgive it.

You patch it yeah?

what driver version you on? does your card use forceware ones like mine?

EDIT: looks alright to me.

I'm sure you've all been awaiting these with baited breath...

I couldn't turn the shadows or effects off - the silly thing kept crashing everytime I restarted it. Ran ok, bit juddery. Didn't get very far, not even a weapon (although it gave me some bullets). Reminded me very much of Unreal 2.

If you get it, just turn off shadows, sure you'll lose a bit of atmosphere but it will run a hell of a lot better. when i played Doom 3 on my machine i only had

Pentium 4 2.4ghz
768mb 3200ram
geforce 4 4600ti

and i got around 30-50fps with shadows off, so i imagine you'll be ok.

I'm on a P4 2.66GHz, 512 RAM, GfX5200 64Mb. BF2 runs smoothly on all the lowest settings, HL2 ran on very low settings, but FEAR was a no-go. Halfway through the download, we'll see.

If it works, does that mean my chances with the Pope have increased?

*possibly*

But it aint gonna run quickly.

[edit]

I'm running it on a work laptop 1.5Ghz, geforce go card, and 512 mb at 640x480. It still stutters quite heavily.
